Dune: Part Two
Academy Award × 2
Rent/Purchase
Follow the mythic journey of Paul Atreides as he unites with Chani and the Fremen while on a path of revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family. Facing a choice between the love of his life and the fate of the known universe, Paul endeavors to prevent a terrible future only he can foresee.
What critics thought
Denis Villeneuve's sequel earns broad praise for its world-building, immersive craft, and an ensemble cast that critics largely found exceptional — with Austin Butler's Feyd-Rautha singled out as a particular standout. The main fault lines run through the film's final act, where several critics felt the momentum collapses into a lackluster climax, and through its treatment of imperialism and the white savior framework, where opinion ranges from 'not examined nearly enough' to 'subversively inverted.' Chalamet and Zendaya's scenes together also divided reviewers, some finding genuine chemistry and others seeing the Paul-Chani dynamic as a drag on the film's larger story.
“Staggering to look at but agonizing to watch”
David Ehrlich·IndieWire
“almost as bad as if these notions hadn't been interrogated at all”
The Boston Globe
“a wondrous mix of beautiful images and totally nutty plot”
Richard Roeper·Chicago Sun-Times
“much of the enjoyable moments derive from Paul's understanding of Fremen life”
David Sims·The Atlantic
